X.O. Experience

X.O. Experience

Tha Alkaholiks may have shortened their name, but they’re steadfast in their dedication to the bottle. Riffing on tracks from the Pharcyde and Freak Nasty (”Da Dip” becomes ”Da Sip”), the trio lighten the mood on hip-hop’s gangsta party with libation-loving aplomb. Vocalists Tash and J-Ro are so compelling, you wonder why ex-Lik Xzibit gets all the attention.
